Im not saying HALO is a bad game it the best game on xbox ive ever played.
personaly think halo is a wonderful game filled with mysteries and answers to be found.
but.......... do think the levels in halo is a bit repetive going over a area again and again which is nearly exactly the same as the last one. BUT I LOVE HALO....
WHat keeps me playing halo is the story . opinions ??

Keep on fraggin'

HALO is without a doubt the best Xbox game ever, if not the best console-game ever. But you are right about the levels that are repeated. It feels a bit like halfway in the game they suddenly noticed they ran out of time and money, so they said "right, don't panic, we'll just use the six levels we've got again! Nobody will notice anyway."

But still I had a great time playing through the game several times on every difficulty-setting, so I'm not complaining

Overrated? Yes.

I'm not bashing Halo around or anything, it is a fantastic game, but was way overhyped.

However, Halo DID save the Xbox.

I completely agree, halo if anything is underrated.

i suppose today it is a bit overrated, since magazines, when faced with sub-par FPS's, say, this i s no Halo. There have been some other FPSs and i don't hate halo ina ny way, but just because it saved the xbox doesn't mean that much. The NES saved the entire video game industry as we know it. Im just saying, sure it might be great, but is it really that great???

After Halo2 I fell Halo:CE is not only underrated, but almost looked upon as "inferior" or shunned by many( even feels like Bungie themselves shun it sometimes). I feel Halo2 is extremely overrated. Yes, Halo:CE had repetitive level that made it annoying, but the gameplay was and still is amazing.

yeah halo is the best game in existence, but the 2nt game repeats the first one...



lvl 1
run around human ship/thing in space, fending off covenant boarders
lvl 2
get off the ship/thing and onto ship that takes you to surface. crash land, then run around helping other marines that crashed too....ect...

Halo in the 1950's
92% of teens moved on to rap music. If your part of the 8% that stayed with rock, rock hard my friend and put this in your sig

One of the greatest games ever!

If you think Halo is overrated, I don't think you belong on these forums.

I don't think Halo is that overly over-rated. There are certainly parts that are repetitive such as AoTCR/Library. I think Halo 2 fixed that repetitvness(sp?) quite well. The level weren't as generic.

  • 08.26.2006 5:00 AM PDT

No. it might not be perfect. but it's the closest game to it.

depends on how you look at it. if you've played other great games, like doom, then you might have trouble deciding if this is overhyped or not. but if this was like, your first great game, for you, all others Might( im not sayin anything) be obselete

Halo is hailed as the definitive first person shooter of it's time for a reason. It set a new standard in the gaming industry and still is one of the coolest games in history.

You play to win the game!

No way. I can play HaloCE all night. We play a lot of 2v2 and it doesn't get old. It reminds me of the time that we played Goldeneye on the 64, only it is way better.
